2. Also at the Monkey Cage, Lee Drutman writes against unlimited donations to parties, supported by some as a way to balance against outside groups. Since I’m for unlimited contributions across the board (along with partial public financing), I suppose I don’t quite have a dog in this fight. In general, I’m against political regulation which works actively against formal party organizations, although I certainly agree with Drutman that most outside groups are connected to the party network.
